Does anyone know the Pump rating and tank capacity of this appliance?

The compact front-mounted Coventry Climax pump installed on this Land Rover was rated at 500 IGPM @ 100 PSI - 2275 LPM @ 7 AT.
It was fitted to many Land-Rover and Austin Gipsy light pumpers, mainly used by industrial and factory fire brigades, but also by some county and city fire services.
The Land-Rover's gross vehicle weight restricted its water tank capacity to no more than 175 IG on the two-axle variant, but most had tanks around 100 IG to enable them to carry other additional equipment and personnel. As this example has a four door body, it would probably have a tank around 70 to 100 IG (320 to 450 liters). Some had no tanks, as they were designed for use on industrial sites, which had virtually instant access to hydrant supplies.
